    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The decision to have rainy weather in the early driving scenes was an effort to hide the fact that the interior scenes in Peter's jeep were filmed inside a darkened garage. During the shooting grips would run past carrying flashlights to make it appear like they were lights from passing cars.
    • Goofs
      The films is set on mainland Australia, however a wild Tasmanian devil is depicted, which at the time of filming were only located on the island of Tasmania.
    • Quotes

      Marcia: Love, I wasn't kidding. Let's get out of here.

      Peter: Ah, come on...

      Marcia: I don't like it.

      Peter: It's a little bit of mould on the chicken!

      Marcia: I'm not talking about a fucking chook!

    • Crazy credits
      Spoiler: The closing credits appear over a shot of the wilderness vegetation growing around the harpoon impaling Marcia.
    • Alternate versions
      Spoiler: The UK Region 2 DVD, released in 2006, is slightly cut with one known cut when Peter (John Hargreaves) is hit by the truck at the very end. Some of the actual head collision is removed and after the end credits have rolled, some of the sound on black screen has been faded swiftly out.

    One of those forgotten diamonds

    Most of the people who visit IMDb will have some childhood memories about a movie they saw ones on television. When you'r young, most of the time you only remember the images. At the age of 35 I certainly remember The Long Weekend. Maybe it was my age... but in my memory it was spooky and had a very surprising and sudden ending. I always wondered what the title of the movie was. Thanks to the internet I know it was this one. I recently bought the DVD and watched it again. A little bit disappointing.. but I am glad I watched it again.
